$10,000 Challenge, week 4

So this week I have not done much on the earning side. We have been pretty busy but the challenged has remained in the back of my mind. I have been presented with some opportunities which could prove to be quite financially beneficial and have had a few ideas for things I could do which won’t earn me money right now, but will later.

Overall our $10,000 challenge has been travelling well. Since in the beginning I stated that I would be including any savings as well as earnings to make the total our current total stands at $8,637. I need $1,363 in the next 2 weeks, which I think is doable. I would love it to be more, but we’ll see.

Also, my kitchen has the cupboards and bench in now, so it is just a matter of the splashback and it is pretty much done. I have a few more things being done in the next week which will add value to my home. Whilst I won’t see this money right now, it will benefit me when I plan to sell (hopefully within 12 months).

This week has also brought me closer to finishing my diploma as I passed and exam and it saw my husband getting a call for a job with a higher wage he really wanted, so hopefully that all works out too. I had a job interview as well, but now it looks like I may have some big projects coming up, so will have to juggle things and see if it is still possible if they want me that is!
